Right but if you sign Cooke it may mean Bennett is a healthy scratch or Sundqvist in the AHL. Not the end of the world but I want young legs on the 4th line.

Is there a physical, defensively oriented RHD out there the Pens could land? Franson is not a good fit. McQuaid would have been a good partner for Pouliot because of his experience with Krug IMO.
If Cooke took a league minimum or close and we moved Scuds+Kunitz
Perron-Sid-Horny
Plotnikov-Geno-Phil
Dupuis-Bonernino-Beauner
Cooke-Fehr-Sundy
Maatta-Letang
Cole-Franson
Pouliot-Lovejoy
Fleury
Zatkoff
Damn good lineup.
One thing Im really happy with is that JR got a couple prospects and picks through making our team better. Sure the prospects could all flame out, but he loaded us up with three guys who have potential. If one becomes an nhl player, it's a steal. In addition we have picks back. Thank goodness

We've given up two of our extra 3rd rounders and gotten 2 second rounders in exchange. Not bad at all.
Clendening could turn into a good 5/6 guy as well. He has PP QB potential and was Van's top rated D prospect. He's only 22 and could easily grow into a solid pick up.
The only superficial complaint I have is that both Erixon and Clendening are waiver eligible.
The Islanders are desperate to find a taker for Grabner. Scuderi is from Long Island. Visnovski left the team and they traded Reinhart as well. Crossing my fingers for a Scuderi for Grabner swap. Then with the glut of forwards we have, I'd love to see GMJR swap Kunitz for a decent Dman. I'm sure he can pull something off.
What picks do we actually own next year? It's not possible to keep up.
ANA 2nd , Pens 2nd
Pens 3rd
Pens 4th
Pens 5th
Pens 6th
If Clendening or Erixon were sent down and cleared WBS would have crazy offense from the blue line.
One of those two plus O'Neill and Warsofsky.
That seems like too many. Ask Shero how to cut down to about two.
